J. M. THORBURN & CO.'S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



CRINUMS 



Splendid large-flowering bulbs, closely allied to the 

 Amaryllis. The most suitable soil is a compost of turfy 

 loam, cow manure and some sand. They should be grown 

 in large pots or tubs, about three-fourths of the bulb be- 

 ing out of the soil. In late fall they should be removed to 

 a cool-house and allowed to rest until new leaves begin to 

 appear in February. The bulbs should receive a top- 

 dressing each year when starting, and manure-water dur- 

 ing the growing season. They may be placed outside when 

 warm weather begins, and will flower all through the 

 summer, making splendid lawn or veranda plants.

When well grown, it is difficult to find a more 

 useful plant than this for greenhouse, room and 

 window decorations. The various species pro- 

 duce flowers varying from deep red to pure 

 while and of much elegance of form in flower 

 and plant. The soil best suited to them is a 

 fresh turfy loam with a fourth to a fifth of well- 

 rotted horse manure to which add some clean 

 sand if the soil is heavy. Plant so as to leave 

 the top of the bulb just below the surface. We 

 offer seed of our superb strain of C giganteum 

 at the end of this Catalogue.
